Honestly dont think Hursty can make a midfield setup to accomodate a ball passer like Hunt who requires a little more time to pick a pass. So we end up with Waterfall/Rodgers etc al bringing it out and trying long distance passing to somewhere in Roses proximity.
Be good to see Green impose himself on the game but i do wish we could keep the ball better in the middle.

It's good to see Wison & Holohan in the starting line up. I feared the worst for this match for them, given they were both subbed on Saturday

With Wilson, Holohan, Eisa and Rose on the pitch we’ve got 83% of our goals in the starting lineup. Not sure if those four have started at the same time this season, but if they have, it can’t have been frequently. 70+ minutes out of Wilson would be a positive too.

I wanna be sat in the porch of Hursty’s caravan in 10 years’ time; Vieux Carré in one hand, a Cohiba in the other, laughing with the guy about his Mark Robins moment that night at home to Colchester in Oct 23.

C’mon Town

Ps. Hope the sèx ban works. I want to see our players as frisky as an unneutered spaniel.

I'm guessing what it is, is not what he has done right, in training etc.  I'm sure if he had been tearing it up in training then he would make the first team squad.  Obviously PH and the backroom staff think he is not good enough for a first team place atm.  I really don't understand all this clamour for him to play, if he was good enough, he would be in, obviously atm he isn't.

If this is the case can we move him on in the January transfer window and recoup some of his fee?

Odd though, that we had him on loan and hurst practically chased him to sign him for what three years? Now he’s not good enough and can’t get near the first team. Something has gone off. It might be that it’s turned out he’s not up to it by hursts standards but then that’s worrying.


I was there, the day Bradley Wood scored a 35 yarder!

From the black and white striped shirts
To the fish in the sea
You'll hear us singing
Coz we are Grimsby.

You won't hear us crying
But you'll hear us shout
Coz we are the Grimsby
And this is our chant.......... Grimsby! Grimsby! Grimsby!

Apologies if I’ve missed this but is Harry Clifton injured, because I see he’s not in the starting 11 or even on the bench. Thanks.

You could argue Clifton has shown just as little this season but walks into the squad unopposed.

Not saying Hunt has torn up trees but the whole situation feels very strange.

I’m not his dad. Hurst based his pre season on a midfield that included Hunt, a player who he made a big deal of fuss about signing on a long term deal, a player who ripped it up in his first spell. After 70 minutes of our second game at Notts County, he gets subbed and has only been seen once since in a league starting eleven only when Conteh was suspended.

If we were winning games then so be it but our midfield has been generally woeful and , more often than not, worse than our opponents. We’ve been crying out for a bit of quality.

And please don’t give me any excrement about Hunt making mistakes, we’re already coughing up enough goals through individual errors.

Personally, if Hurst stays, hunt may yet be less than half way through his 3 year contract but I just don't see him staying for the duration of it. Loaned out in January I would expect, gone in the summer. Certainly wouldn't have thought that way when we signed him but Hurst clearly doesnt trust him even on the bench nevermind the first team, for what is surely a must win game - speaks volumes.

Unless he's injured of course.

I get that but current rules regarding aggressive challenges and yellow cards make him quite liable as you probably know.

I hope Green’s nothing like Pele.

Pele was a shågger, which is why he was washed up at 31.

If Green can follow Doigy’s new fluidless, tantric diktat, he should still be playing well into his 40s.

Get in. Own goal


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

I once said Gazza's IQ was less than his shirt number and he asked me: What's an IQ? - George Best

FFS, even with 5 at the back we still get beat like that


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

I once said Gazza's IQ was less than his shirt number and he asked me: What's an IQ? - George Best

That gift from Colchester was precisely what Hurst needed tonight, but we still haven’t addressed the fact that  we’re far too easy to score goals against, so we’re back to square one.

We need to find a top class keeper in January


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

Roll short to Rodgers, Rodgers kicks it long down the middle, either Rose flicks it to no one or it sails through to their defence. What are we trying to do?

This game has a Neil Woods Blue Square era feel too it. Zero atmosphere, calamitous opposition goalkeeper, conceding to a nice finish out of nowhere and a Town side bereft of any kind of game plan or discernible playing style.

30 minutes in, and so far this is not the performance to put the doubters’ minds at ease.

Colchester are not very good at all but we can't pass it 10 yards. I feel sorry for Hurst because I don't understand how the players can struggle with the basics like this...

Absolutely male masturbation this. What are we actually trying to do with this set up? Continually hoofing it up to two sub 6ft strikers and hoping their keeper chucks another one into his own net is not a recipe for success

Can't blame Rose or Wilson I think between them they've had 1 decent pass which Wilson flicked on into space and no one was naking the run

Is Hurst even in the dugout? Can't see him on the telly.

Just getting in a taxi outside the ground.



When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Called it back when we didn't offer Max more than a 1 year deal. Will struggle to get better and Eastwood has been comedy gold this season.

Completely understand the frustration as we are playing poorly, but neither of those goals are Hurst's fault. First one no idea why neither defender tried to put a block in. Second Eastwood had a nightmare. I don't see how sacking Hurst fixes any of this, which worries me more.

They're his fault because he had a million quid from the cup run and these defenders and goalkeeper were all his signings.

Can we not do what they did in Escape to Victory, claim both of our keepers have broken arms, and then bring in an emergency loan / Sly Stallone?

Real worry this. These are bottom of the form chart and second from bottom of the league, and they still look magnitudes better than us. Increasingly difficult to maintain a defence of Hurst, as much as I like the bloke.

And does sacking him magically reverse the signing of Eastwood and get us a better goalkeeper? I just don't think that getting rid of Hurst somehow fixes our problems.

Jackie Stallone would be an improvement on Eastwood on this showing, and easier on the eye than our football.

Well I’ll start praying for a miracle instead then because this has a look of relegation about it . We’ve had plenty of experience of this over the last few years so it’s not hard to recognise ffs

Very seldom post about we negatives but this is flipping rubbish. We get gifted the lead. We can’t defend, we might as well have Anthony Williams back in goal, we don’t communicate, we keep backing off and we have no confidence.
Bloody rubbish

Even with a comedy own goal gift, we have been absolutely utterly pathetic.

The keeper - how was he ever signed? We even had the hindsight of having him before. Madness.

Making Colchester look like a really really good footballing side which is worrying.
Amos looks so far out his depth in L2 and not really a good football player.
Rodgers who looked a colussus at the start of the season seems a one trick pony with a 50-yard diagonal ball which has around a 2% accuracy ratio.
Less said about the keeper the better...

I thought I'd seen the dark days but Jesus f»cking wept.

Quoted from Teestogreen
Paul needs to throw caution to the wind and play 3-4-3
and tell them all to attack without caution - by the sounds of it putting Cartwright on as well


I'm sure PH will bow to your superior knowledge and change the formation at half time.

It is perfectly simple. The confidence has gone. Hurst has been saying for the last six weeks that effectively we have been every bit as good as the opposition but little things have cost us. But the players do not believe it and the pressure is growing.

Sums it up that we need Wrexham to beat Sutton to stop the bottom club gaining on us and not hoping Sutton grab something so we could close in on Wrexham.

It must be now 100% perfectly clear, even to the most Pro Hurst Brigade that his time is run. This was probably his last chance, along with possibly the Donny game to show that he can turn things around. On even just the evidence of that 45 mins he is just not capable. We are flipping awful in all departments. He's got to go and sooner the better to give a new guy the chance to mend this thing.

Regardless of the final result, we've now conceded at least 2 goals in seven of our last eight games. We are prime relegation candidates. It's given me so much de ja vu of the first half of the Holloway season when we were shipping goals for fun. We are relegation fodder if this carries on.

Hurst has that effect on players. He's very good at coaching skill out of players


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

I am not prone to being over confident but I never ever thought that at the start of the season I would ever witness a performance like this. I thought these was well and truly behind us. This team is shot.


If you’d have told me at the beginning of August that we’d have been losing Hurst, I would have been comforted by the knowledge that we’d at least be near the top of League Two. I would not have believed things would be this bad.

If there isn’t a stark improvement in performance and result in the second half, you have to ask how long you can base managerial decisions in the present on events of the past.

I’m not even sure what the game plan is ?

Has he told them to keep playing back to our centre backs until they Nick it off us and score ?


Neither of which happened in this game.  First goal was from a great through ball which was finished well, and the second was from a corner.

Hurst binned off McKeown presumably because he wanted a keeper who could command his area. Looks like he's since binned off Crocombe to sign a weaker McKeown.

He's signed a bunch of nice guys (not a compliment). These weak-willed fannies are going to get him the sack pretty soon. Zero anger after either goal. If Maher or Eastwood were my teammates, they'd have been getting pelters for their efforts in Colchester's two goals. Can only hope that Green getting back to fitness, despite his deficiencies in technique, might at least introduce a bit of flipping backbone

I made the same point a few weeks ago as I couldn’t fathom out what style of football we were trying to play, whatever it is the players are not on board and it’s looking very bleak for not only PH but also the club.

Any repeat of relegation will be the worst case of miss-management in our history which is one hell of an achievement given our pathetic performances since the millennium.

Taking the positives. Easiest decision the owners with have of their tenure tomorrow morning.
Gives whoever comes in a good run of games to see what is needed before the Jan transfer window.

Surely you can grateful for all the bloke has done for this club and the memories he has helped create, whilst still being able to acknowledge that there’s something deeply amiss.

We’re playing something close to the worst Fenty-era football, without any of the mitigating factors.

Surely if he wins it's working, that's the whole point right?

I don't think you really need to post anything, denni. It's been obvious for a long time, that you want us to lose so Hurst gets fired. Many don't want Hurst here, and understandable given the challenging run, but they still support the club when the game is on.

FFS excrement deflection and bounce takes it past Eastqood


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

Andrews gives the ball away and they score. Apparently that's why Alex Hunt is never allowed to play but he never ever gets a game?

That all started with Andrews waiting for the ball to arrive at his feet. A few Town players have done that tonight. Shipping goals like it’s going out of fashion. Simply not good enough.

Our goals conceded to shots on target ratio is flipping painful. Every flipping shot seems to go in. 4 shots on target, 3 goals, and it is becoming quite a pattern.

This ia schoolboy football. Colchester are dire and we are worse. Whatever the result.. if you know the game, Hurst has to go tonight..

He's never getting us promoted.. so what's the point?

The one thing you could normally say of Hurst, even if you don't like the way his teams play, is that they are solid defensively.
Hmmm, so what's changed because this lot are truly awful.

To be honest, I think he's probably copulated off with this. If he is in charge in January, I don't see him sticking with what he has. Some things just haven't quite worked out right.

We've been better second half but that really isn't saying much. We're still the same slow and predictable team we've been all season.
Hurst simply HAS to go now or we are getting relegated.

with this management team thats  exactly what is going to happen to us.

Commentary was something like, Efete has been really good in stages but falls over his own feet sometimes. That is not a professional footballer that you want at your club. Amos shocking too.

Well - I’ve given the benefit of doubt for the mediocre start to this season for playing most of the teams in the top half so far.
But this game ! Town have been exposed as relegation material again

100% still behind PH.


There's always one.


In his three stints as Grimsby Town manager spanning over 10 years the club was never relegated and he also guided them to three promotions.
Only 14 managers have reached 1,000 matches in charge of a Football League team by 1998 and Buckley is one of them.

in fact we will keep Shaun Pearson for the youth team


Think I’d consider playing Pearson in goal until the transfer window opens.

So many coaches who are ex-pro defenders and a goalkeeping coach, between them they can't teach this lot how to defend at all we get cut apart so easily. I imagine the team wage is higher than last year too which makes it seem like some are stealing a living at this point. Gifted a lead and then instantly pegged back by the defence being asleep then it went from bad to worse.

Fair play to Wilson getting us back in it but we looked predictable and fragile at the back all game. Couple of times players should have scored but wasted an easy chance, Amos spoons it when he has 3 in the box, Eisa looked well off it today, looked clumsy and lacking in the confidence to make spaces for himself and shoot we have seen previously. As usual we suffer from defensive issues and a goalkeeper mistake on the corner.

This was a pretty naff side that was able to beat players and cut through the defence who looked slow and lethargic. Conteh about the only bit of quality and I thought that the last time I saw us play.

We're scoring goals and we made more chances tonight. The narrative has always been negative etc but the problem is we're fragile as intercourse at the back. Scored 2 at Tranmere and Stockport and 2 at home to Crawley and Colchester and taken 1 point from those 4 games.

Aside from 15 minutes at the start of the second half, that was dire. The ease at which a side as bad as Colchester created chances against us is damning and I expect Ben Davies to be in charge at Donneh on Saturday.

Another very poor home display. It's time for him to go, Donny on Saturday is a match too many. Thank you Paul you have been a good servant for the club so do the honourable thing and resign.

Defensive coaches that can’t coach us how to defend???


Maybe these coaches should be changed for buses and parked in the goalmouth. That might work.

Well, you must admit Colchester tried to help us out in the beginning.

We’ve been on a horrendous run, playing terrible football but we’ve had a few injuries and struggled to recruit up front after the first few signings. I feel really bleak about this season and it feels like the dark times of the last few years.

I’m prone to bouts of melancholy which the last few weeks have definitely exacerbated. I know I shouldn’t be affected by the travails of 11+ men I’ve never met kicking a sack of air around once or twice a week but I find I am. This is amplified by the the negativity on here which I understand as you all pay your increasingly hard earned money to watch.

I’m despondent about our results and performances this season. I hope we turn it round and I actually think under Hurst and with these players we will. I’ll be logging off until I’m a bit more resilient but I wish you all well irrespective of whether you agree with my unfounded views or not.

Up the Mariners, hopefully see you all on the other side of this. Take care everyone.

Well - I’ve given the benefit of doubt for the mediocre start to this season for playing most of the teams in the top half so far.
But this game ! Town have been exposed as relegation material again


That's been the main problem with Grimsby Town and even its fans over the last ten or so years.
We seem to accept losing to the top ten sides as our manager has bigged them up so much and it's as if we should feel lucky to be playing against them.

We seem to have a culture of not wanting any success other than finishing a place above relegation.
I expected more this season especially at home where we've been bored to death despite turning up in record numbers.
